Hello again,
I'm sure appreciating your expertise on this site. Thanks again!
Very soon I'll be starting repair of minor hull cracks. What material shall I use to fill?
Then, one area of the rudder is starting to pull away. What matierial shall I fill this with? photo attached.
Happy New Year to you!!

correction....the area starting to separate is on the skeg. Not rudder.
I'm trying to attach a photo but it's too large and I'm not savvy enough to change it....yet.

The patch you are referring to is a sacrificial faring. No worries
-
Understood. Maybe. Please define sacrificial fairing? It is pulling away. material appears to be about 1/4" thick. I'd like it pretty before bottom painting.
And what's your choice for filling cracks?
Thanks again, soooo much.

It's just a fairing that covers the gudgeon. Not structural
-
Marine Tex will work fine.
-
If you get to the metal screws- fill the slots with clay or something so the next guy can get it apart in 30 years...
-
Thanks so much! That is the exact location.
Take care,
